Same with Crossair in the early days.
As a child I travelled on one of their Metroliners and I remember the F/O pouring the coffee... :)

BTW here's a nice shot of their fleet 1981, along with a Tyrolean DHC-7...

The Twin otter was one pilot only in those days

The Trislander is supposed to have two pilots but are being flown as a special exception which Aurigny are concerned may be withdrawn in which case the aircraft will be unviable and the fact it is the most suitable for the route, is the reason for the exception and the routes will suffer badly if they have to effectively double their staff cost.
